As an investor, you know that any kind of investment opportunity has its risks, and investing in Stocks or Precious Metals is highly speculative. All of the content I post is for informational purposes only.

    Why do Conspiracy Nutters, think that everyone else is as thick as they are ??

    They come across a piece of information that anyone with an IQ over 9 already knows and understands perfectly well, and then they try and paint is all as some Grand Conspiracy !!!

    Makes you wonder if they are all spotty 13 year olds, who have just been bought their first PC with internet access !!!!
